Shakib banned for 3 ODIs for improper gesture

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has banned Shakib Al Hasan for making improper gesture during the second match against Sri Lanka.
The board in a media release Friday said an inquiry found him guilty of making an inappropriate gesture on live television Thursday in Dhaka.
After a review, the board fined him Tk 300,000 and suspended the all-rounder from the next three One Day International (ODI) matches as per the provisions under the BCB’s Code of Conduct, the release said.
It said Shakib had appeared at a disciplinary hearing Friday, admitted the offence and accepted responsibility for the act.
BCB Acting Chief Executive Officer Nizam Uddin Chowdhury said, “Shakib was repentant for the incident and readily accepted that the behaviour was unbecoming of a player of his experience and stature. We also reminded him that his action was unacceptable.” He will now miss the last match in the ODI series and the first two games in the Asia Cup, according to a news agency.
